About Us
OUR HISTORY
The Young Footliters was established in 1982 by Patti Mott, assisted by Robert A. Lee and Hallie Adams with a gift of $500 from the Iowa City Community Theater (ICCT). The first show was Snow White and included 40 children of all ages.
Young Footliters generally offers four productions a year. Our fall production combines youth in kindergarten through 12th grade and is performed at the Iowa City Community Theatre located at the Johnson County Fairgrounds in Iowa City. There are two spring productions: one for youth in kindergarten through 4th grade; one for youth in 5th through 12th grade. Both spring performances are held at the Robert A. Lee Community Recreation Center in Iowa City. The fourth production includes youth in kindergarten through 12th grade and is performed at the Riverside Festival Stage at Lower City Park in Iowa City.
A fifth show may be added as a summer traveling show or a second fall show, which may also travel.
